TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a composition having a combined crude drug extract of wormwood, guava leaves and leaves of mulberry tree as an effective component having anti-allergic rhinitis, anti-atopic dermatitis and anti-asthma activity effects.

BACKGROUND ART

A conventional anti-inflammation anodyne, which is generally used for allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis and chronic asthma, has an anti-inflammation anodyne effect by inhibiting a prostaglandins creation metabolism through an enzyme being called as lipoxygenase (LO) catalyzing the formation of leukotrienes, which causes a bronchus contraction, a bronchus over reaction, and an inflammation of an airway by metabolizing arachidonic acid, and an enzyme which is called as cyclooxygenase(COX) of cells. Here, the COX-1 is related to creating prostaglandins at inflammation portions as well as normal organs and tissue, namely, stomach tube or kidney. However, COX-2 is an enzyme which is related to a portion having an inflammation. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) commercially available in the market inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 or mainly inhibits COX-1, so that it creates prostaglandins needed for maintaining inherent functions of stomach tubes or kidneys when it is taken for a long time period for thereby causing many side effects. (Isselbcher et al., Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine(13th ed), 2, pp 1543-1711, 1994). The recently developed selective COX-2 inhibitor is able to largely decrease the side effects while keeping a known COX-2 anti-inflammation effect, so that the use of the same increases. So, the materials having a LO inhibition activation and selective COX-2 inhibition activation may be used for curing allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis and chronic asthma.

The mast cell widely spread in the internal engaging tissue had a function of producing materials contained in the cells when it is stimulated. These cells are used for developing a chemical able to prevent or cure various allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis and chronic asthma through the researches on de-granulation factors and inhibition factors. The induction mechanism on allergic diseases caused by the activations of mast cell and other cell is not known, but for curing the same, anti-histamine or steroid agent is generally used for releasing symptom.

In particular, histamine is generally stored in mast cell and basophil of a human as medium causing the allergic diseases. So, it is possible to develop an effectiveness of allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis and chronic asthma and medicine mechanism using the mast cells.

The effectiveness as a therapy agent of allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis and chronic asthma is studied through an actual animal test and an animal toxicity test.

Test 4.Activation Inhibition Test of Mast Cell

4-1. Separation Method of Mast Cell

The test was conducted using the method by Chae Ok-hee (effects of bark of mulberry tree to activation of white rat abdomen mast cell based on human, Graduate school report of Junbook national university, 1997). Eight white rats provided from Orient Bio corporation, Mongdong 699-13, Bukmyeon, Gapyung Gun, Kyunggi-do, Korea were anesthetized with ether, and 10 ml of HEPES-Tyrode buffer was injected into the abdomen of white rat, and the abdomen wall was smoothly massaged for 9 seconds. The center of the abdomen was cut, and the abdomen washing liquid was collected using eyedropper, and was sunk for 10 minutes with 200×g, and the supernatant was discarded, and it was floated again until the number of mast cells was 1×106 cell/mL with 10 ml of HEPES-Tyrode buffer. The reliable separation of the mast cells from the floating substance of the abdomen mast cell was conducted using the method by Hachisuka et al (Hachisuki et al. Clinica Chimica Acta, 171, pp 247-256, 1988). A cell floating liquid was placed on isotonic percoll solution(10× Hank's solution 1 mL+percoll 9 mL), and Hepes-Tyrode buffer of 10 mL was filled, and placed for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was discarded by processing for 15 minutes at 125×g, and it was washed two times with Hepes-Tyrode buffer for thereby preparing a pure mast cell floating liquid.

4-2. Cell Toxicity Test

In order to measure the cell toxicity with respect to the functional composition of the example 2-1, abdomen mast cell(2×105 cells in 0.2 mL) was obtained, and only Hepes-Tyrode buffer of 10 mL (25 mL) was processed, and the functional composition(100, 10 or 1 mg/mL) of 25 ml of the example 2-1 with various concentrations were processed and cultivated at 37° C., and the 4-hour cell survival state was checked as follows using Tempkin using a trypan blue and Levi-Schaffer (Temkin and Levi-Schaffer, Cytokine, 15(1), pp 20-26, 2001). The survival ratio was computed assuming that the survival is 100 when abdomen mast cells are obtained.

As a result of the test, as shown in FIG. 1, it was shown that the functional composition of the example 2-1 did not have cell toxicity.

4-3. Histamine Separation Measurement from Mast Cells

Locker solution, compound of 48/80 or function or functional solution of 20 ul of the example 2-1 of various concentrations were added to 180 ul of the pure separated mast cell floating liquid (106 cells/ml) in the above-described mast cell separation method, and the amount of histamine from the mast cells was measured. In addition, the histamine separation based on the compound 48/80 was pretreated with a sample solution so as to check the inhibition of the functional composition of the example 2-1, and the amount of histamine was measured by adding the compound 48/80. The amount of histamine was measured using a radioisotope enzymatic assay as follows. (Harvima et al Clin Chim Acta 171 pp 247-256, 1988).

As shown in FIG. 2, as a result of the test, the histamine separated from the white rat abdomen mast cell using the compound 48/80 solution was pre-treated starting from the concentration of the functional composition 0.1 mg/mL of the example 2-1.

4-4. Mast Cell Degranulation Observation and Degranulation Ratio Computation

The abdomen floating liquid of 20 ul with the mast cells that the reaction was finished for checking the type of the mast cell and the degranulation was placed on the slide glass, and was processed at a room temperature for 10 minutes so that the mast cells were precipitated. The mast cells were observed as follows at 1000 times magnitude for thereby separating normal types and degranulation types. Almost abdomen mast cells were filled in circular or egg shapes in the cytoplasm, and the cell boundary was clear. The state that the cytoplasm was filled with the granules is called a normal type mast cell. When the cell boundary was not clear or the granules in the cytoplasm was protruded from the surfaces of the cells or was spread around the cells, they were separated as degranulation. The number of the mast cells observed in the selected 10-vision per a test group was counted, and the degranulation was computed using the formula 3.

Degranulation ratio(%)=(number of mast cells degranulated)/number of mast cells)×100  [Formula 3]

As a result of the test, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the white rat abdomen mast cell degranulation was inhibited from the concentration of the functional composition 0.1 mg/mL of the example 2-1.

Test 5. Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis PCA

The following method was conducted so as to know the effectiveness with respect to the functional composition by causing allergic reaction in the actual animal (mouse) with respect to the functional composition of the example 2-1 of the test in the test tube. Anti-DNP (anti-Dinitrophenyl) of 1.2 ug/mL, D8406, Sigma was injected by 10 ul into both ears of a male mouse, and 47 hours after antibody Dinitrophenyl injection, the sample is oral-administrated. One hour later (48 hours after antibody-Dinitrophenyl injection), 1.25 mg of DNP-albumin, A6661, Sigma and a biological salt solution dissolved with 1.25 mg of evans blue, E2129, Sigma was injected into a tail vein for thereby causing a certain reaction. Neck back bone was broken, and the mouse was dead, and the evans blue color component was measured from both ears. As control groups, promethazine hydrochloride, P465, Sigma was used.

As a result of the test, as shown in Table 4, it was known that the allergic reaction improvement effects were obtained from the group that had 5 mg/kg of the functional composition of the example 2-1.
